The latest episode of Real Economy on Euronews, poses the question: “How will the EU elections affect Member States’ economies?” Fifty-one percent of EU citizens claim to be interested in the upcoming European Parliament elections, and campaign priorities are immigration (50%), the economy and growth (47%), youth unemployment (47%), the fight against terrorism (44%), and climate change (40%). While youth unemployment is a concern, at a national level only 25% of EU citizens listed unemployment as their primary concern. Public perception of the national economy varies significantly across different EU Member States.
